Alzheimer's Disease Books

These Alzheimer's disease books are some of the best that I personally have come across. There are lots more good books out there as well though.

It doesn't matter how good a website is, it's hard to compete with a good book for completeness of information. They give more detailed information than you could find on the web, or that you could possibly read sitting looking at a computer screen.

So here are a few good Alzheimer's books. You may find them in your local library, or better still buy them so you always have them to refer to.  There's a search box at the bottom of the page if you want to look for the book online.

The books on this page are all to do with preventing, stopping, reversing and even curing Alzheimer's disease.

"The Mind Killer Defence"

by Frank Mangano

If you're just going to buy one book on preventing and treating Alzheimer's this is it.

Frank Mangano is a Medical Researcher and he shows you how anyone can live a happy, healthy, normal, vibrant life... even if they have Alzheimer's disease! He gives a lot of information on nutrients, vitamins, minerals, exercise, and a whole lot more in the way of a natural treatment for AD. This is my kind of book!

He says that you can prevent and treat Alzheimer's with his all-natural treatment, and he backs that up with a 60 day money-back guarantee. This is an e-book that you can download and be reading in a few minutes. It's quite reasonably priced, and it even comes with some bonuses.

Go to The Mind Killer Defense page for much more info on this book and what's in it, and to order it.

"Alzheimer's Challenged, and Conquered?"

By Louis Blank

In 1993, at the age of 56, Louis Blank was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He decided he was going to beat Alzheimer's even though he was told that it was impossible. This is his story. It follows his slide into the depths of AD and his struggle to get out. Louis is now symptom free.

Most of the book is written by Louis himself with some by his wife and his daughter when his Alzheimer's was so bad that he couldn't write himself. It's an easy read, even humorous in places and most of all it is inspiring. It tells what Louis did to fight this devastating disease so it is also practical help. You get a rare insight from the sufferer's view, and also from the carer's point of view. It's worth a read.


"Memory Fitness"

by Gilles O. Einstein and Mark A. McDaniel


This book gives a complete approach to understanding the different facets of aging and memory and there is an array of approaches and techniques to help with the normal memory loss that occurs with aging.

There are sections on mental exercises and memory, physical exercises and memory, another on supplements, and a section specifically on Alzheimer's disease.

It is a practical book and it gives good advice on looking after your brain and your memory. It would make a good addition to your Alzheimer's book collection.
